Fire-Rated Glass Partitions
Office glass partitions where the wall has to be fire-resisting.
Learn more →Frameless fire-rated glazing in Dumfries is usually needed for one of three reasons: new building work, a change to an existing fire-resisting wall, or defects found in an inspection. We handle all three.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
Frameless fire glazing only works within tight, tested limits: specific glass types, joint widths, sealants, channel details and maximum heights. We specify it where the evidence supports your layout, and tell you plainly when a slim framed system is the better route.
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
